With 2013 coming to a close, many critics have released their 'Best of 2013' film lists, but I've been unable to do so this year because I have seen very few films in theaters this past year, in part due to today's prohibitive cost of movie-going, and partly because of lack of time. Also, in the past 5 years, I've enjoyed TV shows a lot more than actual films...
That being said, I plan on making up for lost time in the next month and a half or so, so I can eventually make up a comprehensive list.
And so, I once again look at my past notes to pass judgement on a previous year, 1993.
Already featured: 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2001, 2005.
